well accoridng to the amened NFA a "bomb" is a destrucrtive Device was just wondering am i correct? not that you could ever get a CLEO sign off on one of the babys or that the Department of Energey or whoever woulg get you the plutoniam

A nuclear weapon is classified as a WMD - Weapon of Mass Destruction. BATF does not have jurisdiction. People who make jokes about them may find themselves having a nice heart to heart talk with some very nice people from the government who are there to help you....

You can own the bombs they just have to be de-milled. The US weapons are very expensive and the foreign stuff is hit and miss. Stay away from the Chinese crap as I’ve seen them fail to go ka-boom too many times. Getting the weapon's grade fissionable material is the real bitch - ever since the ban the stuff is getting harder and harder to get and the price is getting almost prohibitive. Last weekend we lit off a couple of low yield devices that were about 10 years past their shelf life so even the older stuff keeps it value. The springs didn’t seem to mind having been loaded for so long. We only buy forged weapons and wouldn’t have any cast parts if you gave them to us.
For carnivore we’re just kidding here (I think!)

I think the Nuclear Regulatory Commission might have something to say about this, er, "hypothetical acquisition" as well. Although you're not technically operating an unlicensed nuclear reactor until you light it off...then you've just operated AND rapidly melted down an unlicensed reactor. Hope you've got a few million rotting in the bank to pay the fines. :)
